A fragment of a hemisphere of the telencephalon of a Japanese quail Coturnix japonica (Chordata, Aves). Nidopallium (N).

Preparation

SPBSU-ODK_AVES-1-14

Description: A fragment of the nidopallium (N) - a region of the avian pallium. The image shows a group of neurons and glial cells (association). Neuroglial association provide the basis of the avian pallium. They are analogous to the modular structure of the mammalian telencephalon. Glial cells (astrocytes) lie among the neurons. Rich mesh of small blood vessels is also visible.

Organs: сentral nervous system, cerebral brain or its part, neuron(s)

Methods: Neurohistology - Golgi method of silver impregnation of nervous elements
